We can break free of our problems if we learn to use them in ways that support our new life’s freedom.

We must open our arms in order to take flight and get above our issues.

Some things in life are bittersweet and at times very easily confused by a lack of searching. The lack of air when we are choked by our darkness is everything that our demons make it. They will make us feel as if we have never known what it is like to want to live again. They force us to focus on surviving so we cannot imagine what it is like to live in our most genuine ways.

I remember floating knowing that at the same time I was drowning. I lived in hopes that I would find a way to escape. I wanted to spread my arms and fly above all of the habits over time that weighed me down. I wanted to see everything from a different perspective. I wanted life to happen through my eyes and only my eyes. I took shape the moment I got tired enough of my demons tricks. I took off into a world that has been worth enough to me to change everything that I have endured. Everything needed to understand resides in the efforts that we are willing to give during our hardest moments.

It will take an effort larger than any you have known to wake up and want more for yourself while wanting less for your exhausted comfort within darkness. If you embrace feeling anything then you can accept the efforts needed to understand everything.

What will you do today to understand that although darkness is a menace it can also be the strongest factor in creating an irreplaceable version of yourself?
